In other MMO’s you have dungeons that drop meaningful gear upgrades – progression

You also have raids – which you need the dungeon gear to get into – meaningful progression.

Please, don’t do this to me. I’m still at my workplace and I can’t laugh like this here.

You’re living in an illusion, if you think upgrading your stats for the sake of upgrading your stats is meaningful.

It’s more meaningful than doing stuff and not upgrading your stats.

It gives you something to work towards, something to strive for. If you don’t understand that then leave, go back to being happy working for minimum wage. Same thing.

Their is a portal through your front door. It is a zone called “Outside”. You will find wonderful graphics and opportunity to grind all you want, you just need to get a job. The opportunity to advance goes beyond just your job; you could even lead a nation of people.

I am familiar with this outside. I am out there every day.

I am also familiar with this “Job” thing you speak of but I don’t need one. I am self employed. I work 5 hours a day 3 days a week and make enough money to support my family very comfortably.

I don’t want to lead a nation of people, I have no interest in that.

I would bet, that I also spend less time in the game than you do. I just don’t spend it sitting around town or trying to pay the trading post, or goofing around. I sit down with a goal in mind and accomplish it.

It took me 2 nights of playing 4 hours (my longest sessions) to get 98% world completion from 40%.

It’s not hard.

Wait, I’m getting a little confused here.
Are you complaining about grind or the lack of endgame? Because you seem to be pretty confused about these terms.
Which MMORPG’s endgame is not grind? What could possibly keep people occupied that long if not grind? No content can be developed faster than it’s completed by players.

They are one and the same. The end game is a grind. A grind without any progression whatsoever.

Sure, every mmo end game is some kind of grind, but not like this.

In other MMO’s you have dungeons that drop meaningful gear upgrades – progression

You also have raids – which you need the dungeon gear to get into – meaningful progression.

There is zero progression in this game. I’m supposed to sit and farm karma for hours upon hours?

keeping you busy???
dude! you play more than 40h / week.
please, game responsibly…

Less than 1/2 that time sir. This game is easy – there is nothing hard about running around zones and repeating the process over and over again.

Dude! You have no clue about what you are posting about.
Please, post responsibly…….

Magic find obsession needs to be addressed

I can go in and solo the first 2 bosses in arah in the warden wing using all magic find gear – all explorer set with 5 pirate runs and an opal in the last piece and all opal jewelery.

Pretty sure magic find gear is 100% acceptable in dungeons. If you can’t do dungeons in your MF gear then you are just bad .

Everything can be avoided, you could probably run most dungeons naked with a sword and win.

So yeah. I’ve been 80 for about 2 weeks. I’m 400 armorsmith and 400 jewelcrafting.

I have made 2-3 full sets of exotics. I have almost 100% world completion.

I have done almost everything there is to do in this game. And I’m not playing 24/7. I just set myself to a task and do it.

There is no feeling of end game. Doing events over and over and over and over and over is a grind. Doing dungeons over and over for their gear skins is a grind.

There are no epic fights, no raids, most of the dungeons are poorly designed with trash being harder than the actual bosses. (Seriously, I can solo the first 2 bosses in warden wing Arah. – Really?)

The game is a grind – the PvP feels lackluster at best, especially wvw. Zerg vs zerg is not my idea of fun. I pretty much ignore the objectives in wvw and run around just looking for solo fights or 1v2’s 1v3’s.

Where is the end game? Where are these “Dynamic Events” you are speaking of because I haven’t ever seen them.

And to you people, who I have seen post this in so many other threads. To answer your question “The game has been out only 3 weeks, what do you expect?”

I expect a game, upon release to have enough content to keep me busy until new content comes out. Not to have 2 days worth of event seeing and then do those same events for hours and hours.

Dungeons arent Hard enough...

I’m going to agree that dungeons are too easy.

When someone can solo 2 of the bosses in the level 80 explorable mode dungeon for 8 shards it’s too easy.

Am I supposed to be able to solo Arah Bosses?

Because I can.

The first 2 bosses on Warden wing – soloed.

I’m not even that geared.

So I can solo the first 2 bosses of that wing for 4 shards each.

Pretty sure i shouldn’t be able to do that.
